I just don't see it. He won't have the power of Adam Jones, not close. Maybe BJ Upton without the pop.

Fair enough, but I could definitely see Buxton being a 20 HR guy in the bigs. Adam Jones was thin too when he was drafted, and has continued to get bigger. He's off to a great start, but last year was his first year over 20 bombs in a season(twice had 19, though), so it's not like he's been or is expected to be a 30+ HR guy. Buxton defintiely has the speed to be much more of a factor on the bases though, to make up for some of that difference.
